Yep. 100%
It's frustrating, because if memory serves, when the CA schools did a big study, they concluded that eliminated SATs would actually have more of negative impacts on minorities.

I realize standardized testing is far from perfect, but as another PP said, be careful what you wish for...
I don't think people have really thought through the ramifications of completely eliminating a nationally normed test designed to evaluate college readiness.[/quote]
NP.  Another irony, students with learning disabilities are much more likely to have uneven grades.  For some, a test score could really be a help.  That is absolutely the case for one of my kids (who has no accommodations either in school or for testing) and not at all unusual for twice-exceptional students.

Maybe when Corona is gone and testing has resumed with accommodations, this ruling will be forgotten, but I'm not holding my breath.  There will be unintended consequences for sure.[/quote]
